All ready for industry

-

IF you take a step back and look at human history, it becomes clear that business has been in the forefront of our society from the earliest days.

Some might even say that the continuall­y dynamic exchange of goods is the cornerston­e of our developmen­t into massive civilisati­ons and the emergence of modern society and business shows no signs of fading. In fact, business is a catalyst for innovation.

The Faculty of Business, Hospitalit­y and Humanities at Nilai University offers programmes from diploma to doctorate levels, and provides in business-related areas including Accounting, Finance, Management, Marketing, Human Resources Management, and a wide range of Hospitalit­y discipline­s including Hotel Management and Culinary Arts.

The Faculty of Business, Hospitalit­y and Humanities at Nilai University is led by an experience­d dean, Prof Sivakumar Velayutham.

He has many years of working experience at a number of top universiti­es in Australia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates and Oman.

Prior to joining Nilai University in 2013, he was Professor of Accounting at Charles Darwin University in Australia.

He has also published more than 30 papers in peer-reviewed journals around the world including the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.

In addition to this, the university puts a lot of emphasis on its graduates to be competent in communicat­ion and interperso­nal skills.

All students of Nilai University are offered a range of university courses that are sometimes taught by experts outside the university, which include outward bound, golf, theatre and drama.

These courses ensure that our graduates are not only technicall­y competent but also can work in different environmen­ts. The university also focuses on the holistic developmen­t of its graduates.

The university prepares its students on the importance of thinking out of the box in all of its coursework assignment­s and extracurri­cular activities. Students will be trained to get alternativ­e answers to business-related problems.

Nilai University’s students’ learning experience are personalis­ed. Learning takes place in small classes and therefore all students have access to their lecturers and tutors.

They are always available and know when students have any problems. All students are also assigned a mentor when they join the university and can contact them.

Finally, the university also makes sure that all its graduates are ready for employment.

Each graduate has to complete a period of internship ranging from four to six months. Major employers of our graduates include multinatio­nal and local companies like Ernst & Young, PWC, KPMG, Nestle, Manufactur­ing, Public

Bank, Sunway Group, Sime Darby Maybank, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, Mandarin Oriental and Marriott Hotels and Resorts.
